Play-dough! I have to admit I love play-dough! It's a great tool for building fine motor skills and muscles. I love to squish the dough through my fingers and then mold a simple form and then squish it and start again! My kiddos also LOVE play-dough. They would play with it every day if I left it out but then my house would be covered with little dried up balls of multicolored crumbs! So I try my best to bring it out as often as I can.
Usually I just let the kids create freely and explore what they can make with the play-dough but sometimes I provide them with play-dough mats that challenge them to create specific items.
Other times I invite them to create their masterpieces by using a variety of craft materials. The following are some fun materials that make a great addition you can they can include in your creations:
- gems stones
- Popsicle sticks
- googly eyes
- tooth picks
- buttons
- feathers
- sequins
